Alright, here are some scores, fresh out of my brain.
Bentley – 7: solid, but unusually sloppy kicking by his high standards
White – 7: got forward well
Kiernan – 7.5: Looked like a rock at the back as usual, couple of good long passes to the channels
Prosser – 7.5: won everything in the air, commanded everything well
Coker – 7: got forward well as usual, caused panic in their defence a couple of times
Leonard – 7.5: Solid, looking very tidy at the moment
Straker – 7: usual blend of speed and trickery that Strakes shows when he’s having a good game – he had a good game.
Hurst: - 7: got a goal, linked with the midfield well.
Timlin – 8: MOTM absolutely tireless, chased everything down, disrupted their play, looks back to his best
Atkinson – 7.5: more quality on show here.
Woodrow – 7: Got his goal and worked hard the whole match, a mobile striker gave us a different dimension.
My Balti Pie – 9: POTM, hot, tasty, unusual. Highly recommended.
Ref had a good game too.
What a boring set of ratings! Just goes to show how the whole team worked for the entire 90 minutes – our midfield were immense, harrying, closing down, breaking everything up – I don’t think Exeter knew what hit them – they simply weren’t allowed to play the game they wanted.
To be fair to Exeter, they came back into it in the second half, but the game was already won by then, and although they had pressure, it wasn’t ‘edge of the seat’ stuff, wondering when we were going to concede.
Other points of note. I sat next to a mysterious scouting man who flatly refused to tell me what he was doing there, but was other wise very chatty and took detailed notes for the first half but then gave up in the second as he realised Exeter had lost and weren’t going to be able to score. He did only bother to write one name down the whole game though – “Coker”.
Thanks to the young Exeter fan who gave us away fans the finger as he left before the game ended. I was perfectly placed to see his Mum (who was walking behind him) give him a massive wallop round the ear for this as they went down the steps – very funny – it sounded like he hit his head on the wall too, such was the force of her displeasure.
